epiphany

peel off my outside
and then kiss me soft and slow
never let me go

thrown into my mind
never knew i was this sappy
slowly letting go

they think it's a bad idea
part of me wants to wait still
keep you from hurting

all this time now passed
i couldn't want you fully
i wasn't quite ready

secretly scared that
if i want you, you'll just stop
i'll be hurt again

is there no chase in
relationships? i don't know
other ways to keep you

broke all my rules now
i don't trust me; but all signs
in here point to yes
